How To Make Fairy Dough

May 5, 2015

Kids are pretty hard to entertain all the time and so I find I am always looking for something for us to do at home.

A scroll through Facebook brought me to this wonderful blog Laughing Kids Learn with this page in particular...a recipe for fairy dough using only three ingredients.
